Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of marine geological exploration, and in particular to a static penetration device and a penetration method based on a seabed drilling rig. Background Art

[0002] As a new type of submarine resource, submarine natural gas hydrates possess enormous reserves. Global reserves of submarine natural gas hydrates are twice as high as existing natural gas and oil reserves, offering broad development prospects. The exploration and development of submarine natural gas hydrate resources as an alternative energy source to natural gas and oil is of great significance.

[0003] At present, submarine drilling rig technology has significantly improved drilling efficiency and reduced costs by achieving deep-dive docking of drill pipes and pressure-maintained coring, and has become a key technical support for "reducing costs and increasing efficiency" in the exploration and development of natural gas hydrates. Geotechnical multi-parameter static penetration technology is widely used in bottom geotechnical exploration of hydrate-bearing areas due to its high precision and strong stability. This technology can accurately identify sediment types, hydrate occurrence states, and spatial distribution characteristics, providing key support for resource potential assessment. However, the process methods used in drilling sampling and static penetration technology are different. Static penetration technology requires a separate penetration system and cannot be matched with drilling sampling.

The screw drive shaft 210 is located at the center of the drive unit 2, and a first thrust ball bearing 215 and a second thrust ball bearing 216 are provided at the upper and lower ends of the screw drive shaft 210, respectively, to withstand the axial force generated by the screw drive shaft 210 during rotation. The inner-rotating frameless motor includes a stator 211 and a rotor 212. The stator 211 is fixedly connected to the housing 213 via a keyway to generate a rotating magnetic field to drive the rotor 212 to rotate. The rotor 212 is fixedly connected to the screw drive shaft 210 via a keyway to drive the screw drive shaft 210 to rotate. A motor retaining ring 214 is provided at the upper end of the inner-rotating frameless motor to limit the vertical position of the inner-rotating frameless motor. An upper end cap 217 is provided at the upper end of the housing 213, and a lower end cap 218 is provided at the lower end to secure and seal the various components of the drive unit 2.

The drive unit 2 also includes a watertight connector 223, which extends through the upper end cap 217 and the motor retaining ring 214 and is used to power the inner-rotating frameless motor and seal the drive unit 2.

[0038] The structure of penetration unit 3 is as follows Figure 3 As shown, the penetration unit 3 includes a hollow screw 310, a hollow screw nut 311, a penetration sleeve 312, and an elastic spiral watertight cable 313. The elastic spiral watertight cable 313 is arranged at the center of the penetration unit 3; the hollow screw 310 is arranged outside the elastic spiral watertight cable 313 and is connected to the screw drive shaft 210 at the upper end (see Figure 4), which is used to rotate with the rotation of the screw drive shaft 210; a hollow screw nut 311 and a penetration sleeve 312 are provided on the outside of the hollow screw 310, and the lower end of the hollow screw nut 311 is connected to the upper end of the penetration sleeve 312 by a threaded form, and is used to move up and down with the rotation of the hollow screw 310 to drive the penetration sleeve 312 to move downward; the upper end of the static sounding probe 4 is connected to the lower end of the penetration sleeve 312 by a threaded form, and the upper end of the static sounding probe 4 is also connected to the lower end of the elastic spiral watertight cable 313, which is used to penetrate into the formation under the drive of the penetration sleeve 312 to obtain relevant data, and drive the elastic spiral watertight cable 313 to extend in the vertical direction to transmit data in real time. The penetration unit 3 further includes an outer support tube 314, a stop block 315 and a stop sleeve 316; the outer support tube 314 is arranged at the outermost side of the penetration unit 3; the upper end of the outer support tube 314 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the shell 213 by bolts (see Figure 4 Limit blocks 315 are positioned in grooves on both sides of the outer support tube 314. The lower end of the limit blocks 315 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the hollow screw nut 311 via bolts, thereby limiting the axial displacement of the hollow screw nut 311. A limit sleeve 316 is positioned between the penetration sleeve 312 and the outer support tube 314 to limit the axial displacement of the penetration sleeve 312.

[0039] The penetration method of the above-mentioned static penetration device is as follows: (1) After the seabed drilling rig has opened a hole, the static penetration device is lowered into the drill pipe of the seabed drilling rig through the armored cable 11 using the underwater winch device until the suspension ring 141 of the suspension connecting pipe 14 is pressed against the seat ring of the drill pipe, and the spring-loaded mechanism is engaged with the spring-loaded chamber (specifically, the spring-loaded mechanism 132 is engaged with the spring-loaded chamber).

[0040] (2) The power line of the armored cable 11 drives the inner frameless motor to work, wherein the stator 211 remains fixed, generates a rotating magnetic field, drives the rotor 212 to rotate, and the rotating rotor 212 drives the screw drive shaft 210 to rotate, further driving the hollow screw 310 to rotate; the rotating hollow screw 310 drives the hollow screw nut 311 to move up and down, thereby driving the penetration sleeve 312 and the static penetration probe 4 to penetrate the stratum below the drill pipe at a constant speed, and the static penetration probe 4 obtains relevant geotechnical parameter data; during the penetration process, the elastic spiral watertight cable 313 extends in the vertical direction as the static penetration probe 4 penetrates, so as to transmit the above data in real time.

[0041] (3) After the operation is completed, the rotor 212 rotates in the opposite direction to recover the penetration sleeve 312 and the static penetration probe 4. After the recovery is completed, the static penetration device is lifted upward by the armored cable 11. During the lifting process, the spring-loaded mechanism retracts inward (specifically, the spring-loaded mechanism 132 retracts inward) and disengages from the spring-loaded chamber, thereby lifting the static penetration device to the seabed drilling rig platform.

[0042] In summary, the internal rotating frameless motor adopted in the present invention (suitable for applications with limited space, the rotor mass is concentrated at the center of rotation, the inertia is small, the acceleration / deceleration is faster, the system response speed is improved, and more precise motion control can be achieved) is a hollow structure. Compared with the previously designed "bevel gear set transmission", the transmission cable of the static penetration probe can be directly connected to the armored cable along the hollow channel, which greatly reduces the parts setting at the structure and reduces the complexity. In addition, the size of the structure in the vertical direction is greatly reduced, which can increase the penetration stroke of the static penetration probe within the effective stroke of the drill pipe.

[0043] Compared to traditional research vessel exploration platforms, subsea drilling rigs offer advantages such as flexible deployment, minimal platform requirements, and a high degree of automation. Downhole geotechnical survey technology allows for direct in-situ testing of reservoir parameters with high accuracy and reliability. Through multi-sensor integration and optimized deployment and recovery methods, the in-situ mechanical properties of the reservoir and the distribution of hydrates can be accurately determined. This disclosure integrates in-situ survey and sampling technologies on a subsea drilling rig, further enriching my country's marine hydrate exploration capabilities, reducing costs and increasing efficiency, and providing technical support for the development of natural gas hydrates in my country's oceans.

[0044] It should be understood that the various forms of processes shown above can be used to reorder, add, or delete steps. For example, the steps described in this disclosure can be performed in parallel, sequentially, or in a different order, as long as the desired results of the technical solutions of this disclosure can be achieved, and this document is not limited here.

[0045] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature. Throughout the present disclosure, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0046] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present disclosure, but the scope of protection of the present disclosure is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this disclosure should be included in the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
